In high school, students are faced with many decisions. They are forced to make choices regarding their future, and that can be a scary thing for some. Others have it all figured out.
“I’ve always wanted to be a teacher and I’ve always liked working with kids with special needs.” said Senior Stephanie Klein, who plans to attend Northwestern College in Roseville to study Special Education. The program will take her four years to complete, whereas Senior Marie Christensen will be studying pre-med for eight.
“I’m looking forward to getting out of high school, my parents’ house, and meeting new people.” said Christensen, who will be attending college in River Falls, Wisconsin. River Falls is only 78 miles away from Buffalo, unlike Hawaii Pacific University, which is over 4,000 miles away, and is the school Senior Kala Czanstkowski hopes to attend next fall.
“I’m an adventerous person and I didn’t think any of the schools in Minnesota fulfilled my desire for adventure.” said Czanstkowski. “I think going to Hawaii will be a good opportunnity to see the world and get a good education at the same time.”
Graduation is less than three months way, adding pressure to the seniors at BHS. Life outside of high school will provide new decisions and challenges, but they will be prepared.
